Where possible and where space permits, I understand Publisher will exercise reasonable efforts to attribute the recipe(s) to me. I hereby waive any moral rights applicable to the recipe(s) or their publication. I recognize that Publisher is under no obligation to use the recipe(s) or to exercise any of the rights set forth above and that the decision whether to use the recipe(s) or exercise such rights is within Publisher’s sole discretion. I waive any right to inspect or approve any finished, unfinished or preliminary copy of the Publication that may involve the recipe(s). In granting the electronic rights under this Agreement, I understand that Publisher may place the recipe(s) on the Internet or in e-mail and that the Internet and/or e-mail may subject the recipe(s) to unlawful interception or reproduction by third parties that are outside of Publisher’s control. I hereby hold Publisher harmless from liability for such unlawful interception or reproduction.
I warrant that I have the right and authority to grant the rights provided herein and that the recipe(s) are solely created by me as my original work, are not unlawful and do not infringe on the rights of others and contain no instructions that may be injurious to others. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold Publisher harmless against any damages, costs, expenses and fees (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Publisher arising out of or relating to any breach of the foregoing warranties.
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of and agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior discussions, representations, agreements and understandings. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written document signed by Publisher and me. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of California and the federal law of the United States, excluding the laws of those jurisdictions pertaining to the resolution of conflicts of laws with other jurisdictions. Any action at law, suit in equity or other judicial proceeding for the enforcement of this Agreement or any provision thereof, shall take place solely and exclusively in the State of California in Riverside County. I hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Riverside County, California in any dispute arising from or related to this Agreement. I shall promptly reimburse Publisher for any expenses or costs incurred, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to the enforcement of this Agreement.
